Saab has a 750hp 2.3 liter engine in it's Pikes Peak car. I don't know where you heard a Saab turbo will only put out 300hp. That's the beauty of turbo motors, just turn up the boost.
And I'm sure you understand that the only way to approach or exceed 100hp per liter as you suggest the Benz 3.5 is capable of is with extremely high revs. It takes Honda 8,000 plus. It takes a lot of titanium and a flat crank V8 and 8,000 revs for Ferrari to do it.
